The devs put in Picket Patrol because there was a vocal portion of the community that asked for, and yes I was in it, I know several people the like the mode though the vast majority don't. As far as I'm concerned that is the most close to reality and logical portion of this game that exists because of the random element and forcing a leader to think outside of the box and get creative. Guess what, they did that during the war too.
I swear the people on here bitching about team play are the ones that backseat quarterback the officers. Don't say you haven't either, I've seen the videos. Then they come on the forums and say the rank system sucks. Well how are you gonna decide who gets what role if all you want to do is hop into a game with random people you know nothing about. And in the same breath they'll berate organized units for whatever reason. The war wasn't fought with random people coming together to fight an enemy, I don't know why in the hell people expect this game to play any differently. It revolves around organized combat, and I think those who continue to argue against the grain just aren't capable of being led and want to take it out on everyone else.
Its like trying to wrangle a bunch of 5 year olds. Hide behind the white knight facade all you want, that exterior gets more cracks in it every time you post.
